For our positions we look for people who have a passion for problem solving, learning, and the willingness to experiment with new ideas and technologies.

All positions are located in Cambridge, MA, USA.

Prospective PhD students If you are looking for PhD positions, please apply to the graduate programs at MIT or Harvard. We do not accept any PhD student directly into the lab. You have to first be admitted into a program and then you can choose to work in our group. We definitely have plenty of projects for and welcome rotation students from MIT or Harvard.

High school students/Citizen scientists If you are interested in working with us, please open an issue describing your interests in this GitHub repo: https://github.com/sensein/science4all

UROPs

If you are an undergraduate at MIT, we have several projects that are suited for UROP projects. We work through the Quest Initiative or with other faculty for such projects. Feel free to get in touch with us.
